Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

Men Qi pursed her lips.

"This year, we food hunters will be the examiners. Good luck next year!"

She was also a little annoyed! How dare they look down on them, the gourmet hunters!

If she weren't an examiner, she would definitely have given this candidate a good talking-to.

However, this candidate clearly lacked self-awareness.

"Damn it, what a joke."

Faced with Menqi's indifferent attitude, the examinee was instantly enraged and rushed towards Menqi, clearly intending to attack her.

As a result, he was slapped away by Buhara.

Of course, Buhara was saving him, because if Menchi had intervened, the examinee would have been doomed.

Below, Buhara's actions calmed down many hot-headed candidates.

However, Hisoka's gaze toward Menchi and Buhara became even more ferocious.

Since he has failed the Hunter Exam this time.

Then he doesn't need to restrain himself anymore!

Speaking of which, Xisuo is quite interested in Menchi and Buhara!

These two are quite strong; they'll definitely give him a good time fighting.

Chapter 16 Hunter Association, Chairman Netero (Please add to your favorites)

Just as the situation was about to escalate, a voice suddenly came from the sky.

"despite this."

"Only one candidate passed, that's too harsh!"

Everyone looked up and saw a Hunter Association airship appear in the sky.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a figure appeared at the edge of the airship and then jumped off.

'Boom...'

The figure landed on the ground with a loud thud and kicked up a cloud of dust.

When the smoke cleared, an old man with white hair and beard appeared before everyone.

The visitor was none other than Netero, the chairman of the Hunter Association.

Many candidates looked at Nitero with confusion, since they didn't know him.

However, the act of jumping directly from mid-air made many test takers think twice.

Hisoka glanced at Netero and then withdrew his murderous aura.

Although Hisoka didn't know Netero either.

However, he could feel the immense pressure emanating from Netero.

Hisoka enjoys fighting, but he prefers intense battles between evenly matched opponents.

A battle where you get crushed isn't fun at all.

Without a doubt, Netero's strength was enough to overwhelm him, like an adult facing an infant.

Unlike others, Ximen Yan naturally knew Nitero and was aware of Nitero's power.

However, Ximen Yan didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, he had already successfully participated in the second round of the Hunter Exam.

That means the Hunter Association has no intention of driving him away.

Mencius looked at Netero and introduced him to everyone.

"He is the president of the Hunter Association and the highest-ranking official in charge of the Hunter Exams—President Netero."

To be honest, Mencius wasn't entirely unprepared for Nitero's arrival.

After all, there are still several exams to go, and if they were eliminated here, only one person would be left.

Then this year's Hunter Exam can't proceed.

"Although he is in charge, he is just a staff member."

"It's like the people who are responsible for resolving these kinds of problems when they occur."

Netero said, seemingly somewhat helplessly.

Of course, he was indeed somewhat helpless!

After all, we've prepared for so many exams, though we don't know how many will make it to the end.

However, having only one person left for the second exam is still somewhat unsuitable.

Ximen Yan didn't really care about this.

In fact, it would be even better if he were simply given a hunter's license because of this.

However, that's obviously not very realistic.

Netero glanced at Simon as if unintentionally, but Simon did not notice.

Then Netero turned to Mencius and said...

"That, Menqi..."

"Yes!"

Menchi quickly stood up straight and looked at Nitero, ready to listen to his instructions.

"When you test whether they have the courage to challenge the unknown, you conclude that their attitude is problematic."

"That's why they were deemed unqualified, right?"

As they spoke, Netero's eyes were involuntarily drawn to Menchi.

After all, Menqi was dressed too scantily!

Fortunately, Nitero knew this wasn't the time to admire the scenery, so he quickly straightened his gaze.

"No, it's because the examinee made a disparaging remark about Gourmet Hunter."

That's why I got angry.

"The standards for review have become even stricter than originally planned."

Menqi said quite decisively.

It was indeed her mistake, so she didn't intend to make excuses.

It is precisely because Simon Yan's cooking is excellent in both its dedication and taste.

In addition, Ximen Yan's dishes were delivered relatively early, which is why she gave Ximen Yan a passing grade.

"You're well aware that your review process was unfair, aren't you?"

Netero nodded.

If it weren't for knowing that Menqi might have problems...

He also wouldn't assign Satsuki, the examiner for the first exam, to help oversee the second exam.

If it weren't for Sats's report, he wouldn't have been able to arrive so promptly!

"Yes, I tend to lose my temper when it comes to cooking."

"This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the examiner. I will immediately resign from my position as examiner and ask the president to reschedule the test."

Menqi readily admitted his mistake.

And they are willing to bear the consequences.

However, the consequences of being removed from the position of examiner are actually not serious at all.

After all, the examiners of the Hunter Exam are unpaid; it's all voluntary work.

"However, it would be troublesome to find other examiners to replace them at the last minute."

Netero was quite helpless, since almost all the hunters had their own things to do.

There aren't many people who can spare the time to help serve as examiners for the Hunter Exam.

If you try to contact someone at this time, it will be difficult to find a suitable one in a short period of time.

"terribly sorry."

Men Qi could only express his apologies.

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

Nitro had an idea.

Then he looked at Menqi.

"Please continue to serve as the examiner."

"However, you must also take the new test and demonstrate your skills to them."

"How do you feel about this?"

"This way, the test takers will be more likely to accept the results!"

Many test takers generally approve of Niterlo's method.

After all, with a demonstration, they can better understand what to do.

And Menqi certainly wouldn't refuse!

After thinking for a moment, Menqi said.

"That's true, so the new exam question will be boiled eggs."

After all, she needs to demonstrate in person, so candidates who can't do it will have nothing to say.

However, it cannot be too simple, nor can it take too much time.

Therefore, boiled eggs would be a suitable question for the test.

After all, getting the eggs needed for hard-boiled eggs isn't so easy.

Menchi looked at Nitero and asked.

"President, could you please use this airship to transport all the examinees here to Toad Tiger Mountain?"

After all, reaching Toad Tiger Mountain wouldn't be so easy without the help of an airship.

"Toad Tiger Mountain! I see, that's great!"

Nitro immediately understood Menchi's idea; it was indeed a very suitable test question.

So he readily agreed.

"By the way, President, what about the only qualified candidate..."

Menqi looked at Chairman Netero and asked.

After all, Ximen Yan has already passed the test. If he were to retake it, it would be a mistake.

Some of these are not quite appropriate!

"I was able to pass even though you increased the difficulty, Menqi."

"Of course, there's no need to take the test again."

Netero said quite frankly.

Since you've already passed, there's naturally no question of retaking the test.

As for whether other candidates had any objections, Netero didn't care.

However, the only qualified candidate, Ximen Yan, had some issues with his identity.

Even with the capabilities of their Hunter Association, they couldn't find out Ximen Yan's true identity.
